Don't Bother
A boring, poorly edited, repetitive book filled with unlikely dialogue and third hand gossip.There is no new insight into Brando's character to be found here.If you are a Brandophile and must read this book, my advice is to get it from the library.

leaves a lot to be desired
This book was a disappointment despite very low expectations. Darwin Porter is not a writer, so this is not really a book; it's a deluge of catty gossip, incidents presented in no particular order and with little consideration for their relative value or who they pretend to describe. As another reveiwer said, one gets a far more meaningful sense of who Brando was by watching his flims, even the bad ones, because he was a fabulous and fascinating actor and always gave himself away in his performances. One doesn't need to read page after page of repititious detail about his supposed homosexual and straight affairs presented as actual accounts, with foolish dialogs that all sound the same. For example: would Brando ALWAYS refer to his prick as "my noble tool"?
OMIGOD!Unzipped and Pants Down
If all of this novel is to be believed I am wondering where Mr. "I Can't Keep My Pants Up" Brando had time to make any movies at all.Marlon went to bed with half of the world according to this tale of unbridled sex with men and women.The loves of his life is said to be his mother, Dodie, and Wally Cox.There is a hint of incest with his mother in the book.He was bisexual to say the least and made no bones about it - early in life affairs with James Dean, Monty Clift, Burt Lancaster, Rock Hudson and on and on.Too many men and women to name.It is a side of Brando that has not been written about.If you want to know every little detail of his sex life and who sampled his "noble tool" as he called his package, then read the book. ...

The real thing, straight from the show, by its own admission
I made my way to the WB as a result of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," so while I knew that "Dawson's Creek" was their teen soap opera but when a SNL skit made reference to Pacey I thought that was a different name for a girl.But when my students in Popular Culture begged to be able to write about this show for their television papers I started watching it (the gang was graduating from Capeside High in that episode).Last month when the show went into syndication and was available on DVD I was able to go back and watch the show all the way from the beginning and on through the grand finale (For the record, no, I was not surprised by who died or who Joey picked, not that I necessarily approved of either decision).In that context it is interesting to check out "Dawson's Creek: The Official Scrapbook" and relive the beginning once more. Good for the 'major' fans!
This is good for fans of dawsons creek.Its full of pictures, but most are from the first season.Its not got a story line or anything its, just something to look threw that you would do very quickly and probably never look at again.If you just love the show, your gonna want to get this, but i would recoment getting one of the Dawsons Creek novels instead because they are far more entertaining!

The low down on the lifes of the star's at Dawson's Creek!
This book is a must have of any Dawson's Creek fan! The book doesn't have a story line like any other Dawson's Creek book but describe the lifes of the 4 main characters in the Creek and in real life. By reading this bookyou find out about the star's past , present and future television and filmjobs .The book gives you information about which star bring's his dog towork every day , what starsign they are and what there nick-names were !You also find out about the characters in the creek which is a great helpto those people who haven't seen Dawson's Creek and don't know the backgrounds of all the characters. If this hasn't grasped you there is a pieceby the producer Kevin Wialliamson with his thoughts and comments. The bookalso has a copy of some of the original T.V script with Kevin Williamsoncomments . My favourite part of the book is a page full of some of the mostfamous quotes ever in Dawson's Creek which reminds you of past events inthe Creek. Over all I find this book a inspiring guide to the minds of 4 ofthe most confused teenagers which makes it a perfect guide to Dawson'sCreek! ... Read more

Charlie Chaplin: The Beauty Of Silence
I think the book "Charlie Chaplin: The Beauty Of Silence," by Alan Schroeder, is a good book all around. It features his childhood, his begining in theater, and his overall success in the silent movie buisness. It gives and details some of Charlie's greatest films, such as "Gold Rush," "The Kid," "City Lights" and "Modern Times." It also records Charlie's downfall during the begining of the sound movies or "talkies."

For every fan and admirer!
Yes, but what D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S b&w photos for the price!This is one of the BEST used book values I ever bought!
Very indepth.
This book was very informative.It was like the author followed Love around her whole life.It had many quotes from Love on many different topics.The pictures were great (though they would have been better in color).This book tells just how much she had to go through to get to thelevel she's at today, the top.I would have given it one more star if itwere an official biography.

This is a great book
This is probably the best book Ive read so far. But it olny has 8 black&white photos, but great photos. Its small enough to fit in your jacket pocket. It has all the information I needed to know. And easy to read. ... Read more

Thin book, thin information
There is some interesting information, yes, but there are also many inaccuracies, and unfortunately, it was more applicable a few years back.I commend it only because it was the first Roswell book out there, but it doesn't include all the stars.If you're interested in details, look at Crash Into Me: The World of Roswell.Frankly, I found it to be more informative.

If You're A Fan...
I was very surprised at how thin this book was when it arrived, but anyway. It has info on the stars and is quite good if you've only just started watching the series (or if you're a die hard fan). Most of the info contained in this book in available on the web.

A must for any TRUE Roswell fan!
This book was the first book (to my knowledge) to be written about the Roswell cast. It gives great bios of Jason, Shiri, Brendan, Colin, Maj, Kat, and Nick!Read more

GREAT BOOK GOOD INFO!!
THis was a good book and provided mewith lots of informatio

This book was a good start.
This book had much of the same info. we see everyday on web pages orarticles. It had a few pictures in the middle that I have seen before. Thisbook tells all about the real life of the characters. If you don't knowmuch about the real life Dawson's Creek members, then this would be goodfor you.

No New Info
